"Mr. Zhou, please drink tea." Gong Rupeng also served a cup of hot tea at the right time. Lin Yuanfang handed Zhou Fengqiang another cigarette and asked him to calm down.

Zhou Fengqiang pinched the cigarette, but did not light it, and when he saw Gong Rupeng retreating, he reached out and took out a thick envelope from his arms, gently placed it in Lin Yuanfang's hand, and said: "Mayor Lin, you have helped me so much, this is my little care, please accept it." ”

"Lao Zhou, what kind of reputation are you doing?" Lin Yuanfang's face immediately sank, his eyes stared at Zhou Fengqiang sternly, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the envelope, "You put it away for me now, I, Lin Yuanfang, will still be your friend in the future." Otherwise, don't come to my office door in the future! ”

Zhou Fengqiang wanted to say something, but when he saw Lin Yuanfang's stern gaze, he finally felt weak, smiled wryly, and put away the thick envelope.

Lin Yuanfang originally wanted to ask a few words about Zhou Fengqiang's company's situation and future plans, but when Zhou Fengqiang was so troubled, he was in a bad mood, and he didn't continue to talk to Zhou Fengqiang, and said coldly: "I just came back from a business trip, and I still have a lot of work to deal with." What else do you have to say, hurry up. ”

"No, no." Zhou Fengqiang stood up with interest, "Mayor Lin, you are busy, I won't disturb your work." ”

When he left the city hall, a man in his early thirties greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, has Mayor Dongxilin accepted it?" ”

His name is Du Changshan, Zhou Fengqiang's nephew, who used to work as a clerk in the township government, and later resigned from his job to serve as deputy general manager in Zhou Fengqiang's company. It is very relied on by Zhou Fengqiang. The rapid development of Fengqiang Jian'an Company in Changzhou County is largely due to Du Changshan's contributions. But it was this Du Changshan who learned that Dirui Leather Company was bidding for the construction of a dormitory building, and he strongly encouraged Zhou Fengqiang to take over the business. In the end, Zhou Fengqiang almost went bankrupt. Fortunately, it was Lin Yuanfang who came forward to solve this problem for Zhou Fengqiang, otherwise Zhou Fengqiang didn't say anything about it, Du Changshan estimated that he would be scolded to death by his mother!

"Shut it up!" Zhou Fengqiang glared at Du Changshan fiercely, "What kind of bad idea do you stinky boy have?" I was kicked out by Mayor Lin without even drinking a sip of water. ”

"Mayor Lin really didn't accept it?" was scolded by Zhou Fengqiang, but Du Changshan showed joy on his face.

"It's not like I didn't receive it!" Zhou Fengqiang glanced at Du Changshan, "You don't have anything to say now, right?" ”

"Hehe, it's still uncle, you look at the right people!" Du Changshan laughed, "Then do what we said earlier." When I go back, I will contact the people's congress deputies in our county. ”

"Hurry up! There are only about ten days left. Zhou Fengqiang said, "You go to our county, and I will go to several other districts and counties to contact old friends, and let's work hard." Let's see if we can push Mayor Lin up. ”

"Well, hold on! A good official like Mayor Lin has to sit in the position of the top leader of the city government! ”

The day after Lin Yuanfang returned, Qi Renyuan, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, came to Huanghai to supervise the general election. The first thing Qi Renyuan did when he arrived in Huanghai was to convene a meeting of the Huanghai City Emergency Standing Committee.

The Standing Committee was presided over by Wu Senmin, secretary of the municipal party committee. After he made his opening remarks, he took the lead in applauding and said, "Next, I invite Secretary Qi Renyuan to make an important speech!" ”

Qi Renyuan glanced at the venue with a solemn gaze, and his face was very serious. He went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth and said: "The main leaders of the provincial party committee attach great importance to the general election work of Huanghai City! The standing committees of the people's congresses at all levels throughout the province should fully understand the important significance of this general election. We should truly unify our thinking with the spirit of the documents of the central and provincial party committees and with the work arrangements of the provincial election work committee. Be clear about the point. Conscientiously elect deputies to people's congresses and local state organs and their leaders. It is necessary to strictly control the recommendation of candidates for deputies and improve the overall quality of people's congress deputies through the general election. It is necessary to give full expression to the representative nature and extensive nature of the people's congresses and further optimize the structure of deputies. It is necessary to properly select the members of the Standing Committee, attach importance to strengthening the building of special committees of the people's congresses, and strive to improve the overall quality of the people's congress standing committees and their ability to perform their duties through general elections......"

All city leaders who have experienced elections know that as long as there is a year of general elections, this fixed pattern of speeches will be repeated by the higher-level leaders, and definitely not once, at least a dozen times.

Although it was a cliché that was often spoken, the Standing Committee members present still heard Qi Renyuan's voice, and the core focus was to unify their thinking with the intention of the provincial party committee and earnestly select local state organs and their leading personnel.

After Qi Renyuan spoke for about ten minutes, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "Recently, some non-organizational activities that go against the intentions of the provincial party committee have appeared one after another in other provinces and cities, and this is absolutely not allowed!" Before coming to Huanghai, the secretary of the provincial party committee had a deep discussion with me several times on this issue, and demanded that the party committees at all levels must gradually implement the work of the general election with a highly responsible attitude! ”

"Secretary Shangguan emphasized that the standing committees of the party committees at all levels, especially the main leading comrades who are also the directors of the election committee, are the first responsible persons for implementing the intentions of the provincial party committee!" Zhou Limin took out Shang Fang's sword without hesitation.

In officialdom, there are some things that don't need to be said at all. Everyone is a political animal, especially those who can sit indoors for meetings, and they are all "mature" cadres who have been tearing apart in the political arena for many years, how can they not understand Qi Renyuan's voiceover?

Hai Hongxing, who was sitting beside Wu Senmin, gently put down the pencil in his hand, and happened to meet the gaze cast by Yu Genliang, the head of the organization, exchanged a knowing look, and floated away again.

Hao Xiangqian sat on Qi Renyuan's right, unable to contain his excitement in his heart. The old leader really took great pains to ensure that he survived this general election safely. Not only did he go to Huanghai City ten days in advance to supervise the work, but he also went to Shangguan Shenxue, secretary of the provincial party committee, to invite Shang Fang Baojian. Since Secretary Shangguan has spoken, I think who dares to make small moves behind his back?

"Secretary Shangguan asked. It is necessary to ensure the smooth implementation of the intention of the provincial party committee. The work of this general election can also be regarded as a test for leading cadres at all levels. In his position, he must seek his own government, and he can go up, not down! Qi Renyuan threw another bombshell. This kind of statement, for those who want to secretly play ghosts, is not too much to emphasize.

Wu Senmin took a sip of tea expressionlessly, but secretly complained in his heart. Hao Xiangqian himself caused so much trouble that his own prestige in Huanghai City was so drastically reduced that he could not guarantee a smooth passage of this general election. But listening to the meaning of Qi Renyuan's speech, it was clear that he wanted to pull him out and take responsibility together. In other words, if Hao Xiangqian goes wrong in the mayoral election this time. It will affect his position as the top leader of the Usenmin Municipal Party Committee.

However, no matter how dissatisfied Wu Senmin was in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, especially Qi Renyuan also played the signboard of Shangguan Shenxue, secretary of the provincial party committee. Even if he Wu Senmin was reluctant, this time in order to ensure Hao Xiangqian's smooth election. It's time to do everything you can.

Qi Renyuan lived in the No. 1 villa of Xiaozhao of the Huanghai Municipal Party Committee, and in order to ensure the safety of the leaders of the provincial party committee, Wu Senmin specially arranged for a squad of armed police soldiers to stand guard outside, and even equipped the principal and deputy squadron leaders on duty who led the team on duty with live ammunition. Wu Senmin's side flattered Qi Renyuan, except because the situation of the general election in Huanghai City was complicated and the responsibility was heavy. He was afraid that Qi Renyuan would find trouble if something unexpected happened, but more importantly, Wu Senmin knew that if he wanted to take the position of deputy provincial leader. Qi Renyuan has a key vote in his hand.

Accompanied by the Standing Committee members of the Huanghai City Standing Committee, Qi Renyuan had dinner. Back in his room, he lay down in a bathtub filled with precious Chinese medicine. After soaking for more than an hour, until the pores of the sweat were soaked open, exuding a refreshing breath from the inside out, I got up and changed into a set of beige dressing gowns and came to the living room outside.

Secretary Liu Bohong had been waiting outside, and when he saw Qi Renyuan coming out, he walked over lightly and whispered to Qi Renyuan: "Boss, Mayor Hao has been waiting outside for a long time. ”

"Let him in!" Qi Renyuan leaned back on the sofa and waved his hand and said.

"Old leader, thank you!" Hao Xiangqian walked in with a grateful face, "With you coming to the scene to suppress the formation, this heart of mine will be put in my stomach." ”

"Forward, you are brought out by me, at this critical moment, if I don't come to help you, who else will I help?" Qi Renyuan was obviously in a good mood, he held a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"However," Qi Renyuan changed his words and said, "I can't take it lightly just because I have arrived in the Yellow Sea, we must be vigilant to prevent someone from doing ghosts below!" Bohong, what do you say? The last sentence was said by Qi Renyuan to Liu Bohong.

"You're right, if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens, it's better for us to be cautious." Seeing Qi Renyuan asking himself, Liu Bohong hurriedly said.

Qi Renyuan nodded, and asked Hao Xiangqian again, "Xiangqian, you say, what should we do next?" ”

Although Hao Xiangqian was a little arrogant, he was not a stupid person, listening to Qi Renyuan's examination of him, he groaned for a while, and said tentatively: "Secretary Qi, there are still a few days before the opening of the National People's Congress, you haven't been to the Yellow Sea for a while, take advantage of this time, do you want to take a walk in the following districts and counties and visit your old subordinates?" ”

"yes!" Seeing that Hao Xiangqian understood his mind, Qi Renyuan couldn't help laughing, "What you said is on point." Maintaining close ties with the masses has always been an important principle and line of our party! ”

Hao Xiangqian couldn't help but be overjoyed, not to mention that Qi Renyuan was the old secretary of Huanghai City, and there were many old subordinates in all districts and counties of the city, just because he was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he directly met with the cadres of the districts and counties below, and emphasized the importance of implementing the intention of the provincial party committee to organize the re-election.

For a while, Hao Xiangqian was excited and ashamed in his heart, and he lowered his head for a long time before he said a sentence, "Old leader, I'm sorry for you, I didn't take the burden you left behind, I didn't add glory to your face, but I caused you so much trouble." ”

"It's good to know it's wrong!" Seeing that Hao Xiangqian's eyes were red, Qi Renyuan had no intention of criticizing Hao Xiangqian, "In the future, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't stab any more Lou Zi." ”

Qi Renyuan sighed with emotion as he spoke, he beckoned Hao Xiang to sit closer to him, and said in his heart: "Forward, my old leader is also old, and I can't last you for many years, and in the future, in this world, it will depend on your mother and these young people to fight with one hand and one foot." ”

After sighing for a while, Qi Renyuan asked Hao Xiangqian again, "Didn't you say that you have a list of ministers of non-governmental organizations who are making personnel arrangements?" Did you bring it here? ”

"Brought it." Hao Xiangqian hurriedly opened the briefcase, took out a document, and handed it to Qi Renyuan with both hands. There are several sets of lists on this material, all of which are the so-called Huanghai City Government team members rumored by the ministers of non-governmental organizations collected by Zhai Dachuan.

Qi Renyuan put on reading glasses, looked at the list in his hand carefully, took out a pen and spent a lot of time on the list of several people above, and said to Hao Xiangqian: "The so-called candidates for the deputy mayor on this list will be discussed by you." As for the three so-called mayors, let Usenmin come forward to talk to them! ”

After Lin Yuanfang finished handling the work of the municipal government, he was going to the management committee by car, but received a call from Wu Senmin: "Mayor Yuanfang, where are you?" ”

"I just got out of the municipal government, and I was about to go to the Economic Development Zone Management Committee to have a look." Lin Yuanfang said.

"There's no rush over there in the Economic Development Zone, you can come to me first." Usenmin said.

Lin Yuanfang asked Zhao Dalei to turn around and drive towards the compound of the municipal party committee.

As soon as he walked into the Standing Committee building, Lin Yuanfang bumped into Niu Zhaohong, director of the Municipal Fisheries Bureau.

"Mayor Lin, are you back from a business trip?" Niu Zhaohong greeted Lin Yuanfang warmly.

Although Lin Yuanfang was not familiar with Niu Zhaohong, he had heard a lot about Niu Zhaohong. Seven years ago, Niu Zhaohong was the leader of the county party committee in Qianhai County, a subordinate of Huanghai City, and his ability even surpassed that of Hao Xiangqian, who was the director of the Huanghai Economic Development Zone Management Committee at that time. It just so happened that there was a vacancy in Huanghai City for the post of deputy mayor, and it was necessary to select cadres at the county and department level in Huanghai City. At that time, everyone thought that this place was none other than Niu Zhaohong. But he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Niu Zhaohong was arrested by public security officers for soliciting prostitutes at the Tourist Hotel in the Economic Development Zone of Huanghai City, and instead of being promoted to deputy mayor, he was also transferred from the position of the top leader of the Qianhai County Party Committee and placed on the cold bench of the Municipal Fisheries Bureau, where he sat for seven years.
